"as if to nothing", 2008, computer-based single-channel videowork with soundThe videowork „as if to nothing“ comprises of a selection of statistical data of the earth and its population. This data, gathered from various governmental sources, displayed in a very specific and subjective interdependency, is combined with the highly dramatic second move of Bruckner‘s 7th symphony which is looped for the screening. This music-piece, a tour-de-force through the human emotions, is used to underline the weight of the subject-matter of this artwork.
